ENB - REGION 7 NOTICES

Onondaga County - The Planning Board of the Town of DeWitt will hold a Public Hearing on September 12, 2002 at 8:00 p.m. at the Town Offices, 5400 Butternut Drive, in the Town of DeWitt with respect to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement on the proposed Woodbine Industrial Park Development.

Cayuga County - The City of Auburn, as lead agency, has determined that the proposed reconstruction of Memorial City Hall will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. The action involves the reconstruction of Memorial City Hall, including the installation of heating and air conditioning improvements and original furnishings, equipment, machinery or apparatus required for the purpose for which the reconstructed Memorial City Hall will be used. Memorial City Hall is located within the South Street Area National Register Historic District. The proposed action would not alter the exterior of Memorial City Hall. Changes to the interior of the building associated with the heating and air conditioning improvements would be minimal. The proposed heating and air conditioning geothermal system would utilize a subterranean piping system to regulate the temperature inside the building. The piping will be installed in the parking lot adjacent to the building. No loss of available parking will occur after construction is completed because the parking area will be restored. Approximately 45 holes to a depth of approximately 400 feet and a 700 foot horizontal trench will be used to install the piping system. Several thousand feet of lineal piping would then be installed underground. Once the piping is installed, it will be connected to City Hall in the boiler room. The project is located at Memorial City Hall, 24 South Street, Auburn, Cayuga County.

This notice is issued pursuant to Part 617 of the implementing regulations pertaining to Article 8 (State Environmental Quality Review Act) of the Environmental Conservation Law.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, as lead agency, has determined that the proposed action described below will not have a significant effect on the environment and a Draft Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared.

NAME OF ACTION: Terry Lee, proposed mine expansion

DESCRIPTION OF ACTION: The applicant proposes to expand the existing mining operation by 4.6 acres to facilitate reclamation and to provide material to the Town of Lisle.

LOCATION: Project is located on NYS Route 79, approximately 1000 feet west of Clute Hill Road, Town of Lisle, Broome County.

Based on the submittal of the long EAF and mining and reclamation plans, the project will not have a significant effect on the environment for the following reasons:

The mining operation at this location has been operated since the 1960's by a number of different entities. The permittee indicates that the 4.6 acre expansion is primarily to enable a better reclamation plan to be adopted and to provide additional material to the Town of Lisle, which appears to be the sole recipient of material from this site. The NYS Office of Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation has signed off on the proposal. The applicant proposes no other operational changes to the facility. The proposed project will not adversely impact any streams, wetlands or threatened or endangered species. Noise and dust are not expected to be a problem.
